Proof that no one cares about a restored car when

[Fast67VelleN2O]

....a survivor shows up.

[mockingbird812]

Love it!

[bergy]

That is sooo true!!!! I had one survivor & 9 #1 restored cars in my building. Visitors walked right past the restored cars like they didn't exist - headed directly to the survivor. I love to look at survivors, but I prefer restored cars in my collection - JMHO.

Saw a preview pic of the blue Daytona on Instagram... awesome!

Matt, your pic reminds me of this series. I didn't take a shot of the people but same applied.

I have restored cars because they were a cool combo but needed to be done....and that's fine......but I'll take a great survivor any day.....because somehow - they survived. And they are great references for helping others get their cars "right".

They are few & far between and stand out among restored cars.As well as teach us all.
I see them as a nice way to cleanse the pallet,as you walk among a room full of restored cars,which there are far more of today.
Everyone has different preferences,but over the long run till I die,I'd personally take owning & driving a restored car for it's durability/reliability to enjoy more.

Well said Rick. &quot;...cleanse the pallet,...&quot; I envision the &quot;cleansing&quot; of the pallet with mud, dust, cob webs, etc.! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

My survivor 1970 Trans Am is revealing secrets the more I work on it. Very cool original car

Cool huh? I love finding that kind of stuff....and sharing for the hobby. It's like an archaeological dig!

As far as driving a restored over a good survivor......I generally find that the survivors drive a little better for some reason.....maybe it's because the factory assembled stuff has been bolted to each other for all these years resulting in a zen-like harmony thing......or maybe not - lol!

I think I'm bringing one of these to MCACN for Vintage certification...

Both and the Camaro? I better start saving my lunch money for that transport bill! Taking donations.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif I think I am leaning towards the Bird.

[69hurstSC]

Wast the winged car on the left in a fire?

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Winged car on the left was a supposed ex NASCAR. Was on eBay this past year.

[Day2_69Z]

NASCAR versions had no lights , closed shut, covers only.... ??
Street cars (publicly sold factory cars)
Have full function Hi/Low headlights and turn signal, running lights.....correct ?

Then what's on this one here above ?

I did see that eBay listing.... nice write up with lottsa pics.
Sell for. $ 50 or something ???? Can't remember

[PeteLeathersac]

Tough to believe w/ stock gas filler also no rear window plug, any wing mounts in the trunk or anything left of an XX Vin?
Note the rear quarter holes look right for a '68 marker lamps too...small town stocker built from a regular '68 Charger?

[Day2_69Z]

That's my impression ....lack of NASCAR Cage kinda gives it away too.....

Its worth more as a relic I'm sure.. .unless he wants a $100,000 car at the end after spending $200,000 + the car

[bashton]

For anyone who would like to see that 440+6 Corporate (Petty) Blue Superbird, it will be at MCACN along with an equally cool and even more outrageous 426 Hemi Superbird in our Barn Find/Hidden Gems area!

Killer!

[RS_COPO_Canuck]

If I was British........bringing the bird would mean something else from that pic! Lol.
